U.S. Department of Labor Regional Director for Public Affairs Scott Allen said OSHA investigators were on the scene of the accident Tuesday morning to look into the cause of the accident. Allen says it is too early to speculate on what may have caused part of the three-level International Nutrition building to collapse.

Police identified the victims as Keith Everett, 53, and David Ball, 47.

On Tuesday, International Nutrition President Steven J. Silver issued the following statement:

"We would like to express our sympathies and condolences to the families of our employees who lost their lives yesterday. We also offer our thoughts and prayers for a swift recovery to those injured and affected by the accident. Many of our employees have worked with us for more than 10 years, and in a family-owned business like ours, the developments that have taken place over the last day are difficult for all involved.

We are Omaha natives, and have owned the company for more than 35 years. We are proud members of the Omaha and State Chambers of Commerce, and have always emphasized the importance of safety. We work with the Nebraska Chapter of the National Safety Council and our procedures are ISO 9001 certified.

In our more than 35 years of doing business, this is the most serious incident to ever happen at our operation, and we are fully cooperating with all government investigators to find the cause.

Our thanks to the many employees who helped and supported each other in the wake of the accident, and our appreciation to the firefighters, rescuers and medical personnel who took care of those employees needing attention.

In the coming days we will assess the damage and explore alternate methods of meeting our customers' needs. In the meantime, our focus remains on the wellbeing of employees and the search for the cause of this terrible accident."

Occupational Safety and Health Administration records show the plant has been cited before for safety violations, including for the 2002 death of a 45-year-old worker who died when he fell into a moving mixer he was cleaning.

In 2006, the company received a warning from the FDA, saying the company failed to prevent unsafe contamination in production feed.

Other records show that the plant, which makes nutritional products that are added to livestock and poultry feed, was cited for six violations in 2012. OSHA fined the company $19,600, saying the company failed to provide machine guarding to protect the operator and other employees. The company only paid $10,430.

"Occasionally, we will accept a lower penalty amount in order to ensure that the violations are corrected as quickly as possible from the company," Allen said.

Allen said current records show International Nutrition did correct all its violations.

"I would say that International Nutrition was compliant and quickly abated all the issues that were recognized," Allen said. “But that doesn't mean that they might have changed their pattern -- working pattern had some other unsafe work practices, but the ones we recognized at the time we were there, we considered those issues abated,” Allen said.

Allen said the last check at International Nutrition did meet OSHA standards, which he said will make it even harder to figure out what went wrong.

“We're confident we’ll be able to come up with the answers to try and help prevent this from happening again in the future,” he said.
